Nano Technology

The prefix "nano" means one-billionth. A nanosecond is one-billionth of a second and a nanometer is one-billionth of a meter - approximately 10 atoms wide. These minuscule measurements have opened a whole new world of scientific research. By enabling scientists and engineers to build electronic and mechanical structures literally atom-by-atom, nanotechnology is expected to revolutionize business, medical treatment, communications and other fields in everything from tiny computers, spacecraft and microscopic machines to microscopic life-saving medical devices.

By designing cleanroom systems to meet the stringent requirements of this evolving technology, PortaFab meets all architectural and structural requirements for today's advancements in nano research in both microelectronics and biotechnology.
